"In 1949 Francis Bacon found his subject - the human body - and from then on it remained his principal theme. But he did not
paint from life. Instead he appropriated images from the mass media that he manipulated into his 'studies'. His paintings
bore witness to the shattered psychology of the time and shot him to a prominence that hardly diminished over the next fifty
years, and that continues to rise." "This book presents many of the 'working documents' about which Bacon was entirely secretive
but which, it emerges, were integral to his creative process. Culled from thousands of pieces of original material found in
his studio, including newspapers, magazines, books and photographs, these items have each been exhaustively and minutely researched,
providing for the first time comprehensive details of the artist's sources. This base material - folded, torn, clipped and
spattered with paint - underwent an alchemical transformation from mundane matter into new images." "Nearly all previously
unseen, these visually thrilling documents demonstrate Bacon's tactile, visceral relationship with his sources, and his unerring
eye for seeking out visual stimulation in the most unexpected places. His paintings emerged from a dialogue between great
art of the past and photographic imagery of the present: and, as a painter of the transient, his work also shared the pulse
and flicker of his other significant inspiration, early cinema. His fascination with medium itself - the texture of paint,
the quality of newsprint, the techniques of mechanical reproduction of both the still and moving image - throws light on the
nature of Bacon's points of contact with the twentieth century."--Jacket

Twenty years after the artist's death, this new publication presents a timely and rich overview of the life and work of Francis
Bacon. The book includes some 60 paintings as well as photographs, ephemera and archival material largely drawn from the artist's
studio. An introduction and four essays by international experts look at specific aspects of Bacon's work, from detailed analysis
of archival material to a study of the influences of Marcel Duchamp. The paintings divide into a thematic chronology of five
decades: the 1940s, which looks at the figure studies closely related to Bacon's famous Three studies for figures at the base
of a crucifixion; the 1950s, where his work is informed by Velázquez and van Gogh, but is also dominated by ambiguous, shadowy
figures in sombre tones; the 1960s and 70s, which focus on the portraits and subsequent memorials to Bacon's lover George
Dyer, who died in 1971; the 1980s, while calmer and more naturalistic, reveal more haunted works which make reference to classical
mythology and epic poetry. Each decade is defined by influences in his life and motifs which form part of an evolving pictorial
language

"Throughout the decade, Bailey determined to photograph peoples and places across the world that fascinated him. Alongside
these photographs, this volume presents images from his 1970s fashion sittings (featuring Marie Helvin, Penelope Tree and
Anjelica Huston), as well as his portraits of subjects ranging from Salvador Dali and Mick Jagger to Margaret Thatcher and
Mother Teresa. His acclaimed television documentaries on Andy Warhol, Cecil Beaton and Luchino Visconti provided yet more
opportunities for compelling stills."--Amazon
